Why Sarabi?

A rare kind of Mara stay — genuinely intimate, genuinely wild, and priced so more of your trip goes toward the safari itself.

01

Top-quality service, pocket-friendly prices

The comfort and care of a luxury camp, without the luxury-camp bill.

02

A pristine setting, designed for it all

Away from the hustle and bustle — just bush, sky and quiet. Safari, adventure, culture, nature, comfort and peace of mind come together in one all-inclusive package, rounded out with opportunities to try authentic local cuisine and see the community's organic farming training first-hand, plus natural health and wellness: herbal spa treatments, grounding, mindfulness, yoga and herbal medicine lessons. You come for the wildlife; you check out happier and more energised than when you arrived.

03

A true boutique gem — only 5 rooms

No convoys of vehicles, no crowded decks. Just you and the Mara.

04

In the heart of the Maasai Mara

Bordered by Lemek and Mara North Conservancies, where wildlife roam freely in their natural habitat.

05

On a private ranch — no extra fees

No conservancy fee, no community fee, no park fee added to your stay.

06

Everything under one roof

All en-suite spacious rooms, an outdoor rustic bar, restaurant, lounge and a log fire chimney for the evenings.

About us

Sarabi Wild is a community-based rustic guest house in the heart of the famous Maasai Mara, designed, built and operated by local community members with the aim of improving community welfare and supporting conservation efforts. Sarabi Wild is perfect for families, small groups, or guests seeking exclusivity, comfort and privacy.

"We can't heal the world today. But we can begin with a voice of compassion, a heart of love and an act of kindness."

— Mary Davis

Our three core pillars

Everything at Sarabi Wild rests on three commitments: to the community that built it, to the land that surrounds it, and to the guests who come to experience both.

01 — COMMUNITY

Community

Revenue generated by the lodge is used to provide key services to the community, including:

02 — CONSERVATION

Sustainability & Conservation

We protect the wild land we call home — from the private ranch beneath us to the Lemek and Mara North Conservancies around us — so this landscape, and the wildlife that roams it, stays wild for the generations who inherit it.

03 — COMMERCE

Commerce

A setting built for relaxation — a blend of nature, adventure, culture and authentic Africa, designed to meet and surpass your expectations. Here, you fully embrace a tranquil setting far from the crowds. Our team of seasoned hospitality professionals ensures your experience is extraordinary.

A drink by the waterfall

The wild waterfall swimming pool is one of those small touches full-board guests remember — a cool dip or a quiet drink, with nothing but water and rock for company.

Other itineraries: gorilla trekking

Not every trip has to end at the Mara. We also arrange customised itineraries for guests who want to extend their journey to meet the mountain gorillas of Uganda or Rwanda — a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with one of the rarest and most remarkable animals on Earth.

Deep in the misted forests of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, or the volcanic slopes of Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park, expert trackers lead small groups on foot to find a habituated gorilla family. When you find them, you don't just see them from a distance — you sit quietly a few metres away, watching mountain gorillas go about their day: mothers grooming infants, silverbacks keeping watch, youngsters play-fighting in the undergrowth. Few wildlife experiences on the planet come close.

Mountain gorillas are among our closest living relatives, sharing the vast majority of our DNA — and one of the most endangered great apes left in the wild, found nowhere else on Earth. Trekking to see them isn't just unforgettable; it directly funds the rangers and communities protecting the species.

Where

Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, Uganda, or Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda.

What's arranged

Trekking permits, transfers, expert guides and accommodation — tailored around your stay with us.

Best paired with

A few extra days before or after your time at Sarabi Wild, as a standalone extension.

Tell us you're interested when you enquire, and we'll build a gorilla trekking extension around your Mara dates.
